He was trying real hard to get them to win games, hence all the picks.

It's still bad decision making regardless of the parameters. You could throw in that Barkley is under immense pressure being the QB of USC so he's also trying too hard, hence all the picks._________________Favorite 2015 Prospects: Tyler Lockett WR, Tevin Coleman RB, Laken Tomlinson OG, Shaq Thompson LB, Nate Orchard OLB

I see Matt Ryan when I watch Barkley. Likely a game manager early in his NFL career who can eventually take the next step. Doesn't seem like a Whiz QB though. He likes 6'4" canon-arm guys.

Ryan has a far better arm than Barkley, he can make those stick throws between defenders and he can make those out and comeback throws that Barkley cannot. Ryan is also a better decision maker.

Well yeah he's been in the NFL for years now. But Ryan struggled with decision making too in college. 15 TDs/10 INTs his Junior year and 31 TDs/19 INTs his Senior year. He also didn't complete a high number of passes and his arm strength was in question too. He was as underwhelming a #1 pick as I've seen. But he had all the intangibles. I can see the similarities to Barkley.

There are some similarities. The big difference of course if that Ryan, along with the intangibles, has all of the physical attributes that Barkley does not. Ryan's got 2 1/2 inches on Barkley and has a significantly stronger arm.

Perhaps but Vick will turn the ball over a ton. Not only will he throw an interception about every game but he'll probably fumble about every game as well. He's very careless with the football.

People are exaggerating how much Vick turns the ball over because of how many turnovers he had in his first few games this year. BTW, 9 of those 14 turnovers came in games where he led three 4th quarter comebacks. Vick's career TD/TO ratio is better than Eli Manning for instance.

ANd Nick Foles isn't fairing any better right now behind the Eagles offensive line.

I know the Cardinals offensive line isn't exactly great either but if the Eagles sign Vick and don't waste a draft pick on a QB that could be something used to sure up that offensive line

And having a receiver that can go up and get it allows Vick to evade pressure even more and punishes them for that extra defender in the box
